First-Principles Investigations on Magnetic Properties in Off-Stoichiometric Ni2MnIn Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ni-Mn-In is a new type of magnetic shape memory alloy, but in the stoichiometric Ni2MnIn, the martensitic transformation cannot perform. Thus, in order to obtain the appropriate Curie temperature TC and the martensitic transformation temperature TM, the composition adjustment must be carried out around the stoichiometric Ni2MnIn. The process of composition adjustment would induce various point defects. This paper scientifically studies the magnetic properties of off-stoichiometric Ni2MnIn alloys by first-principles calculations.
